Fix: the operation couldn’t be completed. (com.apple.appleaccount error 0.)
Did you get this error when trying to restore your iPhone or iPad from an iCloud backup while beta testing iOS 5
? I did and here is how to fix it. When your iDevice asks for your Apple ID and you are positive you are entering the right username and password in and you still get the error “The operation couldn’t be completed. (com.apple.appleaccount error 0.)” this is due to some glitch in Apple’s servers. To fix this problem you will need to login to your account on a computer through iTunes. Change your password and make sure your credit card and billing are correct.
Now try to login to your Apple ID on your iPhone, iPod Touch, or iPad and you will finally be able to get past this error and restore from an iCloud backup.

Take Pictures With Your iPhones Headset With iOS 5
The new iOS had amazed me all last week while I started testing it but this is yet another cherry on top today. As I took a picture that I launched from the lock screen and then used the volume up as shutter, I thought, couldn’t I use the volume up on my headset? So I plugged the headset in, propped up my iPhone, stepped back, and took a pic from the cords distance. This may not have too many uses but it is still pretty cool especially if somebody designed some sort of bluetooth shutter button. Give me your ideas in the comments!

5 More New features of iOS 5
This review was submitted by our guest writer Brody White. If you would like to be a guest writer here check out the Guest Writer page. You can write about anything you want related to our website and we even provide you with promo codes to apps for you to review.
Here is a little bit more in depth look into iOS 5, of some of the features that were not discussed at Monday’s keynote or anywhere else for that mater.
The camera app. Along with being launched from the lock screen and using the volume up button for shutter the camera app has an interesting new way to view the camera roll. After you have taken a picture and want to preview it you used to have to press the small preview square in the bottom left but now you simply swipe your finger to the right and the photo you just took is displayed. From there you can continue to swipe through all your previously captured photos.
2. The iPad iPod app. To be truthful there actually is no iPod app any longer, it has been replaced with a newly named Music app and music note icon. When entering the app you get a more iTunes like feel with a wood grain outline. The play, previous, and next buttons are all larger and located at the top left. Next to them is a newly designed play bar displaying the progress of your playing music along with album artwork, shuffle and repeat buttons, and genius. There is now a search bar in the bottom right to search through artists, songs, playlist, or any of the sections. Another feature is a button that links to the store which opens the iTunes app. Now two of the more interesting features are that you can now delete music straight from the Music app which is a step towards cutting the cord from your Mac. Also when playing a song and viewing its album artwork you can simply swipe across the artwork and it skips to the next song.
3. Custom Vibrations. It is now possible to make your own vibration pattern for all of your contacts. Located in Settings>General>Accessibility you can turn on custom vibrations, then return to Settings and in Sounds scroll to vibration patterns where you can create custom vibration patterns for certain contacts that you can assign later with the Contacts app.
4. Multitasking on the iPad. Way back on a previous developer preview many of us were exposed to a new way to navigate the iPad. It was multitasking gestures. With the first release most of them could be glitchy, slow, and overall unreliable. But now with iOS 5 they have been redesigned to be fairly smooth and functional. One of the gestures pinching five fingers to return to the home screen has been improved in that when pinching slowly you notice the home screen now fades in from black and the app icons are already there during the animation while previously all you could see were the names of the apps. Another gesture that I use very frequently would be four finger swipe up to reveal the app switcher. This makes switching apps really fast and convenient and now with iOS 5 they fixed just a small thing that I noticed. When using four fingers to swipe up you can continually swipe up and down opening and closing the switcher as before it would either crash due to so much input or would just ignore it. Also you have the ability to swipe four fingers from right to left and it will move to the next open app in the switcher.
5. Notification Center. Ahh the biggest and best new feature of iOS. Everything about Notification center will forever change how we use our iPhones and iPads. It has also changed the settings for notifications as well, when going to these new settings there are now many more options. First you can choose how to arrange you widgets and notifications either manually or by time of arrival. By choosing manual you can have your weather widget at the top at all times or on bottom if you choose along with the location of all your notifications. When you enter the settings for an individual app you now have options for it appearing at all in the center, how many of it’s recent items you would like it to display, if you would like to view it in the lock screen, and the alert style wether it be the cool new banners or the old annoying pop-ups. But out of all these good things I have found one flaw, there are no widgets for the iPad. Why, I do not know, but for some reason iPad users will not get the same luxury of having weather and stocks in their notification center.

Fix: POSIX: Socket is not connected
Are you getting the error POSIX: Socket is not connected error in Cydia when trying to download a certain application? This error happens when you loose connection during the download. You may be downloading a large file that is say 15MB, and your iPhone goes to sleep. This will terminate the connection and you will end up with the error POSIX: Socket is not connected.
To fix the problem connect to Wi-Fi if you are encountering the error while on 3G. You may not be getting a strong enough 3G signal to get a clean download. If you are on Wi-Fi and you are receiving the error make sure that your iPhone, iPad, or iPod Touch is not going to sleep during the download process. If it is a large download you may want to go into Settings -> General-> Auto-Lock and set it to never. That way your iDevice will not go into sleep during the download.
So to fix POSIX: Socket is not connected just make sure you have a good data connection throughout the whole download process.

Apple Updates Their Apple Stores With iPad 2s
Well, the big mystery of what Apple is doing has been leaked by one of the employees. It seems as though Apple is revamping the retail experience (yet again) by adding a 9.7 inch multi-touch display that lets you go in-depth on the products Apple is selling. I’m, of course, speaking about iPad 2s!
There is an iPad at every station and this is basically a console that customers will be able to use to display product prices & information for products, product features, prices, lets you compare between models, and you can even use the iPad to ask a specialist to come to you!
Apple has created some interesting iPad 2s however, they aren’t normal iPad 2s, it seems as though they aren’t connected by dock connector, but by a cord running through the back of the units, and the home button is rendered useless (multitasking gestures anyone?)
So here’s a gallery of some pictures MacStories got ahold of:
